Rotary newbee
 
Hey there rotary world. I'm Alfred. Bought my car two years ago. The engine was bad so didn't drive it much but still the car ran hard. Bought a engine four months ago me and my buddy's dropped it in but the local pep boys sold me the WRONG spark plugs and destroyed the seals. I've been saving my pennies and I'm almost ready to get the engine rebuild so I hope it goes good this time around. I don't know anything bout rotary nor turbos so I am here seeking for knowledge.

Well the car came with all the RIGHT mods which include
Non sequatial twins, custom v mount, aluminum radiator,
Full GREDDY exhaust and a bunch of other goodies.
Pretty much ready for a single turbo. But all these talks bout
2jz, LSx, RB swaps has me thinking

I plan on taking them to court since they told me it was at fault for installing what they sold to me. Even though I told them I knew nothing bout rotary

Welcome and sorry to hear about the pep boys experience.

Welcome and sorry to hear about your engine, but stay with a rotary engine they sometime can give you a hard time but at the end is worth it.

AlbertFD3 01-29-12 10:20 PM

so i finally took pep boys to court and only got half of what i asked for. thus now i want to sell my car since i dont have time for it anymore. and its really getting so expensive.

Don't give up man. If you get rid of it you'll regret it the rest of your life. Just take your time on the build and work on it as you have the money. Or get a better source of income. I seriously don't advise you to sell.

Mynegus8u 10-08-12 08:51 PM

What he said. But if out ain't a rotor it ain't a motor! Dont get rid if it

Ronin-san 10-08-12 10:35 PM

Sorry to hear another victim of Pep Boys.

phoenixflight7 04-13-13 10:37 AM

Turns out someone put Tacoma spark plugs in boxes which should of had my 13b ones. ALSO my local pep boys now know what rotary spark plugs look like. But I don't go there no more.
